Thread: Lipstick on a Pig

Oh dear darling moonbats, Barry just buried himself.




I didn't think it was going to be this easy for the republicans to get him to fuckup this badly.

So much for an exiting election.

Hardly a big deal earl.

I thought it was perfume on a pig, not lipstick.

I didn't think it as a poke at Palin. I just saw it as him saying 'it's what it is, irrespective of how you try to improve it.

That's cause your a rational guy. Not a hardline Republican.

Earl seems to be obsessed with lipstick: https://teakdoor.com/us-domestic-issu...-lipstick.html

I beg to differ there amigo!

While I agree Obama wasn't trying to slight Palin, the timing of the line couldn't be more unfortunate.
The one main memorable line from Palin's acceptance speech was the pitbull/lipstick joke. That and the fact Palin is stealing some of the "superstardom" from Obama cant be ignored.
Saying this reveals a significant lapse of judgement.
The fact that the expression is crude and accepted as slang reveals a somewhat un-presidential demeanor I'm afraid.
Barry's up to his neck in it and is now going to have to fight a desperate battle while McCain and Palin waltz into the white house.

Well what about Lipstick on a Monkey????

I've kissed worse

Worse than which one? Obama? Palin? A pitbull? A pig? A monkey?

Ah, never mind, this is Thailand - I've kissed worse than all of them.

Last October, asked about Sen. Hillary Clinton's health care plan, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was blunt. McCain said Clinton's proposal was "eerily" similar to the ill-fated plan she devised in 1993. "I think they put some lipstick on a pig," he said, "but it's still a pig."A common expression, right? McCain surely wasn't calling Clinton a pig. After all, McCain's former press secretary, Torie Clarke, wrote a book called "Lipstick on a Pig: Winning in the No-Spin Era." Elizabeth Edwards told some health journalists that McCain's health care plan was like "painting lipstick on a pig."

Tonight Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of McCain painting himself as a change agent, "You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." ... "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,'" Obama continued, "it's still gonna stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing! It's time to bring about real change to Washington. And that's the choice you've got in this election."


The McCain campaign called Obama's comments "disgraceful" and demanded an apology. The campaign added that Obama, in addition to calling Palin a pig, might have also been calling John McCain a fish, which, of course, would also require an apology.

The media seems to find all of this fascinating, as if use of an old American expression, utilized by all kinds of political candidates from both parties for generations, might be some kind of sexist insult -- not when McCain used it to slam Hillary Clinton, but only when Obama used it to criticize the Republican campaign in general.

It's honestly like being stuck in a "Twilight Zone" episode in which reality has no meaning at all.

Obama campaign senior advisor Anita Dunn said, "Enough is enough The McCain campaign's attack tonight is a pathetic attempt to play the gender card about the use of a common analogy – the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care plan just last year. This phony lecture on gender sensitivity is the height of cynicism and lays bare the increasingly dishonorable campaign John McCain has chosen to run."

It is pretty hilarious.
The funniest part is how devastating it is for the poor Obama supporters. They were already reeling from being blind-sided with the McCain VP choice. Now they have to contend with the harsh reality their messiah is slightly human and can put his foot in his mouth.

BTW alphagirlie when you cut and paste provide a link.

you are probaby correct, going to have another warmonger in the white house.
how sad

Move it M/M ...w/Earl's OK that is. It would be nice to get the various Sarah Palin topics in one thread. That way the side of Truth, Justice & the American Way can defend against all the smears!

But I like the catchy tittles to the threads. Probably better for your google count anyway.
Our opinions are lost in this electronic wasteland regardless.

Nothing has realy changed since school when you were trying to get elected as class pressident!

Do you really belive one of these guys are gonna make the lunch cue shorter?

Once one of these guys gets into office they will soon realise that they don't have the budget or the resouces to make thier promises happen and the people who will suffer will be you the American public and you will get angry and tepidly await the next erection.

At the moment, presidents are elected on who is the best public speaker (except bush) and not on credentials as to who is the best for the job! Look at Pailin who was chosen more of a jeux de position to the fact that the other candidate is a bit black.

Elect me and I'm an Brit who cant even use the word queue in the right context or spell. (Probably better than bush though)

The funny thing about all this is, all Obama needed to do was state that it was not directed at nor implied anything about Palin and be done with it. But they have not been content with that. The more the Obama campaign tries to defend the comment or say that the McCain team are blowing it out of proportion the more life the give to it.

Just watched a couple of more clips about the lipstick on a pig bit on CNN. Most of them were of Obama defending his comment, or saying the McCain team was wrong about the comment being linked to Palin. And these were not question and answer type things - these were Obama talking to the people.

Regardless of if the comment was an attempt to imply anything about Palin or not. The more Obama talks about it the longer the comment, and Palin will stay in the press.

Someone really needs to tell Obama that he is running against McCain and not against Palin. Spotlight envy?

Focus Obama, focus.

They should also clue Obama to the effect that his endless Bush bashing only resounds with the europeans and the far left loonies.
The people he needs to convince are the independents and the undecided. At this rate they're flocking to McCain and Palin.
